Hebrews 5:7-14

7During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.

8Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered

9and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him

10and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

11We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.

12In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!

13Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.

14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
